[color=cornflowerblue]"What, did you like it?"[/color] Haruka replied to Setsuna's provocation in a matching tone. A faint trace of smugness could be seen in her face as she flashed her new outfit for all to see. [color=cornflowerblue]"If you insist,"[/color] she continued, [color=cornflowerblue]"I think that Nya would be fine for a smug cat like you. As for Yeshua here, how about Fuuko? You can thank me for the names later once we—"[/color] Nevertheless, she was cut short a few moments later, by a certain telepath.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Someone likes to feel special,"[/color] Haruka commented snidely after the fact. [color=cornflowerblue]"If that's your intention, I guess that you'll have plenty of chances to do that now,"[/color] she added, following Tomoko's explanation of the imminent attack coming from no one other than Haruka's own flesh and blood.

[color=cornflowerblue]"I should have expected she was up to something when she disappeared for days like that, after dumping a 'hostage' on our laps,"[/color] Haruka said as she treated the situation with an uncommon degree of nonchalance. [color=cornflowerblue]"Also, I don't think that's the case. Knowing my sister, she's likely going to cause as big of a ruckus as she's able to. MFF being involved or not,"[/color] came a reply to Yeshua's question.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Someone's thirstier than a fish in the desert,"[/color] Haruka said after Utena spoke.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Anyway, do you even know where my sister is, Tomoko? It would be better if we could go there now and stop her before the body count gets higher—I mean, anyone else gets hurt,"[/color] she said as she got ready to leave at a moment's notice.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Come to think of it, what happened to our other hostage?"[/color]
